So if someone removes something from any Wikipedia article and I restore it, I'm guilty of plagiarism? IANAL, but I can't imagine that DG is guilty of anything improper in this case, esp. if he says what he's doing in his edit summaries.

I see a number of serious problems with this approach.
I believe there is a copyright issue since my taking "good edits" and remaking them in your name you are guilty of plagiarism. You are not actually deriving anything as the GFDL allows and you are not correctly attributing as the GFDL requires. Conversely, you are actually deceiving readers about the source of the material and misrepresenting your own authority.
I would assume that if the policy is to role back all edits from a banner editor that the best solution is to apply the policy and expect that independent contributors will take up the slack.
